"They are all fine pine wood, twice as thick as those used in the Yue Wang warship, and even then they can't stop the attack of cannonballs at a distance of a hundred paces. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "Gu Jiangzi picked up a piece of broken wood and handed it to Qian Hua, judging from the broken opening on it, there was no trace of fraud.

"They can't reach us a hundred paces away, so they can only wait to be beaten. Even if the largest warship under the command of King Yue was afraid that it would sink after so many cannons. Qian Hua began to imagine a beautiful imagination, imagine a treasure ship equipped with cannons, who else will be his opponent in this world?

"General Qian, don't worry, the test is not over yet, and there are still a lot of good things to see in the future." Gu Jiangzi did not despise Qian Hua, when he first saw the power of the cannon, he was even more unbearable than him.

"Replace the No. 2 shell, replace the target, and prepare for the second round of test firing." After the cannon roared twice more and completely smashed the target, Gu Jiangzi issued a loud order.

A soldier stuffed the water-stained cannon brush into the barrel of the cannon, cleaned up the remnants left by the previous shot, and then began the preparations for the second round of test firing, the previous filling of gunpowder was no different from the previous times, but when he took out the shell, Qian Hua and the others showed curious looks, "Hey, what is this shell used for?" ”

I saw that this cannonball was composed of two cannonballs that were slightly smaller than the previous ones, linked by a chain in the middle, and the cannon targets in front were also replaced by several masts with sails hanging on them.

The cannon roared again, and one cannonball dragged the other out at a rapid pace, pulling the middle chain straight, and then breaking the sail, and then the flying chain tore the sail to pieces.

"Sure enough, I thought that although the cannon was good, if it was to attack the sails, I am afraid it would not be as good as the rocket, but now it seems that I am thinking wrong." Qian Hua high-fived and praised, compared to chain bullets, what is a rocket? Although rockets can burn the sails, it also takes time, and they are not very useful in rainy days, but with chain bombs, the entire sail can be torn apart in just a moment, and the enemy has no time to react.

"General Qian, don't worry, keep watching, but the shot just now is a little crooked." Gu Jiangzi seemed to be dissatisfied with this result, and then raised the flag again and gave the order to launch again.

This time, the gunners changed a cannon, refilled with gunpowder and chain shells, and with a strange scream, the two iron balls straightened the iron chain directly wrapped around the mast in front, and the mast was directly torn into two sections like a saw, and even the sail ropes around it were torn countless times, if it was on the battlefield again, the enemy ship that was hit by this cannon was completely destroyed by this cannon The power system was completely destroyed by this cannon, and it could only stay in place and wait for death.

"That's how this shell is really used." Qian Hua grew his mouth again, looked at the mast that fell into the dust and sighed, "In this way, this ship is considered to be wasted, and it is completely possible to throw them aside, and wait for the battle to slowly clean up those sailors, and then take this battleship for yourself." ”

"Clean up the sailors? Cannons can do it too. Gu Jiangzi laughed, raised the small flag in his hand again and issued an order, "Replace the No. 3 shell and prepare to test fire again." ”

"And shells against sailors?" Qian Hua today felt that the inherent concepts he had formed for more than 20 years seemed to have been completely overturned, and he watched with his eyes as the soldiers transported the wooden figures to the front of the cannons and placed them, and then the gunners began to fill the shotguns, and a flash of fire flashed, and countless projectiles rained down on the wooden people in front of them, and in an instant, these originally intact wooden figures became a pile of garbage with missing arms and legs, a hole in the chest, and half of the broken heads.

Qian Hua estimated the number and distribution area of these wooden figures, "If this cannon is close to you, then all the soldiers on the deck will be finished." "At this time, there is still a need to jump gang battles, just go up and cut off the head, even if there are still a few lucky guys who have not been hit by the shotgun, I am afraid that I will not dare to resist when I see this scene in front of me, right?

After speaking, Qian Hua looked at Gu Jiangzi with a blank eye, "Mr. Gu, what other cannonballs are there?" Go ahead and show us what to see? Luo Shiji, Sima Cuo and others also nodded again and again, they had been completely conquered by the power of the cannon.

"There's one last shell left, but it's too dangerous to use unless a skilled gunner cannon." Gu Jiangzi first gave a strict warning, and then took out the flag and issued an order to replace the fourth type of shell.

This time, however, the gunners took out a stove and burned a shell identical to the one in the first test fire, until the shell burned red, and then began to prepare for firing; Still filled with gunpowder, the gunner carefully placed a mat made of wet mud into the chamber.

"This wet mud pad must be used to separate the gunpowder, otherwise the slightest mistake in the shell will ignite the gunpowder and cause an accidental launch, then the gunner who has not had time to avoid the cannon will have to die." Gu Jiangzi warned.

The chamber of the cannon is now full of gunpowder, and the slightest spark can cause a huge explosion, and it is very risky to fire this most primitive incendiary grenade; Fortunately, these gunners had been trained for a long time, and they were full of vigilance against incendiary bombs, and after careful care, there were no accidents, and the shells shot out, hitting the wooden target not far in front, and the incendiary bombs that drilled into the wooden pile in a moment ignited the surrounding wood with their own heat, and a burst of white smoke ignited a raging fire.

In this era, there is nothing more feared by sea ships than fire, and this incendiary bomb has become a great weapon of destruction for enemy ships, as long as it is properly applied, perhaps it is not delusional to destroy an enemy ship with one shot.

"These gunners have been trained for a long time and are very familiar with the location and distance of the target, so they will hit the target so easily, and if the cannon is moved to the battleship in the future, it is unlikely that there will be such exaggerated results." Li You was too excited about Qian Hua, and couldn't help but remind that with the current level of fire, it was not easy to hit the enemy's battleship.

"It doesn't matter, when the time comes, a lot of practice is that with these cannons and new warships, the whole sea will become our territory." After Li You's reminder, Qian Hua also realized this, but he was not discouraged by this, he has now taken the lead, even if the artillery has such and such problems, it is still countless times better than crossbow arrows, and these problems can be avoided through hard training.

"It seems that it is time to add a new discipline to martial arts." Sima said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
